D’Ette Nogle
Bio
When she began thinking about a project for Made in L.A., D’Ette Nogle (b. 1974 Los Angeles) became curious about the Hammer Museum’s involvement with UCLA’s Mindful Awareness Research Center (MARC). MARC hosts weekly meditation sessions at the museum. Considering MARC’s role within the institution, the perceived effects of an awareness session, and how the programming of meditation introduces the notion of the museum as a quasi-religious space, Nogle has conceived of a project directly responding to these sessions. At the conclusion of each session, the facilitator chimes a bell. In Nogle’s intervention, a bell will chime at twenty-minute intervals throughout the museum courtyard (and indirectly throughout the galleries) in an effort to allow the museum’s affiliation with mindfulness literally to permeate the institution.
